Multi-Pronged Plan for SXSW
This year's SXSW fest is going to be a busy one for me. I'll be wearing several hats throughout the week.
First, we'll be launching MobLogic.TV on March 7th. I'll be producing a show on Friday in and around SXSW to air on Monday. We'll overnight it and have the guys in New York cut it to air on Monday. HERE'S OUR FACEBOOK PAGE.
I've been instrumental in organizing the party for Sunday. Our decision to have ours at 3:00 has proven to be a good one. There seems to be 5 other parties happening that day, but they're all starting at 6:00 or later. We'll be draining our last margarita by then.
Secondly, I've written about the Exquisite Corpse Filmmaking Project I'm a part of and on Tuesday, I'll be in front of an unknown amount of people talking about my process of making my 4-minute contribution. I shot my part 4 weeks ago and handed off my minute to Scott Colthorp a week later. VIEW MY LAST MINUTE HERE! I have to say, I'm really proud of my piece. I can't talk about it too much yet, because other filmmakers aren't allowed to know. Shhhh!
Thirdly, I'll be going down to Austin this year to promote "All God's Children". We received great news last Monday night: our film was accepted to the 2008 Sarasota Film Festival and will be screened twice between the 5 - 8th of April! We are so excited by this news. It will be our official World Premiere and we can think of no other festival that would be better than Sarasota. I hope to meet some people who are also planning on being in Florida in April that will come support our film.
We have lots of family and friends in and around Florida who are planning to attend. There is also a sizable C&MA community there as well. It should be a full screening with a lively Q&A afterwards.
The festival makes its formal announcement very soon. It'll get its own post after that. (and I'm sure plenty more surrounding the experience). This is the beginning of yet another leg of a long trek with this film. One we've been looking forward to for quite some time now.
Somewhere between all that I had a birthday. It was a wonderfully relaxed couple of days with friends, food and shopping.
